Answer

First-Person Point of View matches with 'The story is narrated using 'I' or 'we' by a narrator who participates in the action.'; Third-Person Omniscient matches with 'An all-knowing narrator reveals the internal thoughts, feelings, and motives of all characters.'; Stream of Consciousness matches with 'A style portraying the uninterrupted, continuous flow of a character's internal mental processes.'; Third-Person Limited matches with 'The narrator is outside the story and relates events solely through the perspective of one character.'
